I’m going to assume my eight year old granddaughter got onto my ralvery account and hooked this adorable little guy for me. She even printed the pattern and gave it to me. I think its to funny. She likes this so much. She has never done anything like this before. Thank you so much for sharing.

I wasn’t aware she knew how. Whats so great about it is, she had a brain injury a few years ago which left her impared somewhat. She has trouble wth short term memory and she has a comprehension issue as well as loosing a few years of memories. For her to figure that out on her own was a big enough deal to notify our Nuerolgist. I hope you keep this story for yourself and i totally give you permission to use it how ever you like, even with your pattern if you like. I dont know what to say to you. thank you, NO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATTERN!
